I wonder whether I should be thinking hard on everything around me are complex and life itself is so busy and hard. What to do to ease? I don't know if someone thinks positive, keep their spirits and aspirations high and view the world around us as "Is simple" will be good. My personal view, it depends on the kind of glasses you see thru' or view the world. Using Science, one could go on and on in to an endless loop, asking questions and answering it, but a finite human brain will go crazy. Some of the well known and age-old, proven techniques that we turn to is "GOD" or "FAITH", for answering some complex questions in life.

Very nice verses, Kamaraj, are you also a poet?! Yeah, it is not that simple, yet, it is simple! Complex and simple, disorder and order, evil and good, Faith and skepticism, atheism and godliness etc are our definitions, but for Mother Nature it's just the way things are.

What science reveals us is the hidden simplicity in all these complexities. When I try to show this blunt simplicity, if it is especially about our fundamental life and human nature, many of my friends show some kind of resentments, that the things not that simple. Though everything is same, expect here I look in reverse direction.

It is a child's beautiful curiosity to ask what, how and why. Some people continue their quest, and many other settle with proven short cuts (PSC). Though PSC seems simple, it is actually much more complex than the complexities that it tries to explain. It seems simple, because we grow up with these ideas and digested it all along - now they are our hardcore beliefs; and we find it hard to challenge them; some go crazy.

It is my hope that however uncomfortable it may be, it is worth marching towards the actual reality. This is what allowed us to eradicate many pandemic diseases, and conquer the moon and outer space. Perhaps, it might help us to eradicate sufferings in the world; to become truly altruistic beings without any hate and war; to continue our journey beyond our earth and sun lifetime; to free us from unnecessary constrains.

Science may be (just may be) an endless quest, but definitely not endless loop; else we would be living in same old caves.

Hi Kamaraj, It's a nice poem. How things can be conflicting and how there is unity in diversity. I agree that people have fundamental wants and hardcore beliefs, and some go crazy when they come across situation not normal to them. That's how our emotional brain works but I too think it is worth marching forward to increase the global peace.

Beautiful! This constant debate......glad to see you take a look from the other side:) Nothing is absolute. Life is about perspectives.

Science allows us to understand the mechanisms that underlying life/nature/universe. It is a process that provides powerful information that is, by itself, neither good nor bad. It's the way that the information is utilized/interpreted that gives it meaning and value. Thus, science is a double-edged sword. It can both create an alleviate suffering.

So, what is the ultimate truth/reality? Is there such a thing? Isn't all in our perspective. Is it "Not that simple," or is it all very simple?
